[Intro 1]
[D][A][D][Bm][D]

[Verse 1]
There was [D]a lord,
lived in this [G]town
Who [A]had a handsome, [Bm]lovely [G]daugh[D]ter.
She was courted by a fair young [A]man
Who [Bm]was [D]a servant to her f[A]athe[D]r.
But when her parents they [G]came to [A]know
They [Bm]swore they'd send
him [D]from the [G]island.
[D]The maid she knew her
heart would [A]break
Had [Bm]she [D]to part with young
Mat[A]t Hyl[D]and.[A][D]

[Verse 2]
[D]Then straightway unto her love she [G]goes,
In[A]to his room him [Bm]to a[G]waken.
[D]Saying, arise my love, and go [A]away,
This [D]very night you will be [A]taken.[D]
I overheard my parents [A]say
[Bm]In spite of me he [D]will [G]transport [D]you.
So arise, my love, and go [A]away,
I [Bm]wish [D]to God I'd gone be[A]fore [D]you.

[Verse 3]
Oh must I [D]go, to her he [G]said,
Oh [A]must I go [Bm]without [G]my [D]wages.
Without one penny allin my [A]purse
Just [Bm]like [D]some poor,
forlorn [A]stranger[D]
Here's fifty guineas all in bright [A]gold
And [Bm]that's far more than father [G]owes [D]you.
So take it now and go [A]away,
I [Bm]wish to [D]God I'd gone be[A]fore [D]you.

[Interlude 1]
[G][A][D][G][A]
[D][G][D][G][A][D][G][A][D][G][D][G][A][D][A][G]
They both sat [D]down

[Verse 4]
upon the [Bm]bed[Em]
Just [A]for the side [D]of one half hour,
Not a word did either [A]speak,
But [D]down their cheeks
the tears did [Em]shower.[D]
She rests her head upon his [A]breast
And [Bm]round his neck [D]her arms en[G]twined.
[D]Not duke nor lord, nor earl I'll wed[A]
[Bm]I'll wait for [D]thee my
[A]own Matt [Asus4]Hy land.[D]
I'll [G]wait for [D]thee my own Mat[A]t Hyl[D]and.
I'll [A]wait for [Bm]thee my own Matt [A]Hyland
